How fast does a guy need to be able to race a 5k to impress most girls?

Don't live your life to impress girls.

12:37

Then you can get any girl you want.

For something like a 5k you need to show a six figure income. Nobody is gonna understand what a 13 minute 5k is. You can get away with a Gold medal around your neck also. But even for 12:40, these numbers are meaningless to women.

This and the other guy who said he got a girl after winning a race are probably closest to the truth. If she doesn't know anything about running, the only thing she'll see is who is winning. There's a certain amount of clout to be gained from being the "winner's" girl, even if he isn't that great on the grand scale. It's why the QB of the 0-10 high school football team still gets a girlfriend, because he's the best athlete in his terrible school at a prominent position.

I have to laugh. When I was in high school we had a swimmer who decided to run cross country as a senior. He was about 6'1" and 170 with a chest built up for swimming. He was considered hot by all the chicks in the school. He ends up going undefeated in every race until state when he got second.

Then he comes back out for track and wins the 2 mile.

Dude had all kinds of cheerleaders and other hot girls from the school. I think his running success helped some.... but rumors got around about him... and they weren't about his running.
